Look at how they are making it look like Pete is the winner so far. This is what stays in people's minds. Later we will find out Bernie won, but the effect won't be as strong. It's like when a newspaper makes a correction, most people don't see it.
- Spooky23 7y agoThat's a different problem -- it's the politics as sport/entertainment model that 24x7 "news" outlets need to survive. Pete's camp has fanned the flames on that and he's been identified as the more interesting candidate, with lots of drama. My guess is that it won't last. A similar thing happened with the GOP in 2016. You had a collection of boring candidates in a never ending campaign. Trump's erratic nature made him a novelty that attracted attention. IMO, if we are stuck with these stupid news channels, we need a new distraction... a kid stuck in a well, another OJ, whatever. Years of constant attention on inane politics is too much of a grind.
